Banzai Jungle Blast Slide



Awesome summer fun!
By G. Capello (Lumberton, TX)

I researched all of the inflatable water slides on Amazon and finally settled on this one. The reason I choose this one was because my kids are used to sliding on the big commercial water slides from rental places for birthdays, etc. and I knew that if I bought the other banzai slide like the sidewinder or the other ones, that they would not be impressed. All of the other water slides I looked at on Amazon were not taller than 11 feet and most of them were under 10 feet tall. I looked into purchasing a commercial waterslide but I am not willing to pay $3000.00 for one. This slide is 17 feet tall and the commercial one we usually rent is 18 feet, so this one is comparable. My kids actually like this one even better than the one we usually rent because there are two big slides on it, one that curves and one that is steeper, and a tunnel slide through the middle of it that you go through on your stomach. So there are actually three slides alltogether. Plus there is a continuously spraying water gun attached to the tubes that spray the water over the slides and you can move it in different directions to spray the other people playing.
The setup was pretty easy to do, it took about 45 minutes from getting it out of the box to playtime. You have to attach the tubes that spray the water on the slides with these velcro straps and the sprayers are velcro backed. Each sprayer is numbered and the area it is to be attached to is also numbered. The end of the tubing is attached to your water hose and the blower hooks on really easy, once you turn on the water let your kids loose and they will have a blast on this thing. It seems really well put together and is very sturdy.
Overall, I think it is well worth the money and alot of fun.

I was wondering how well the slide lasted after a year? I just purchased one and after five uses I noticed it's not holding pressure. Any likely spots to look for holes?

Thanks!

ya, on mine after 2 years it's now not able to fill fully. I've tracked it down to the cloth lining inside the slide. There seems to be something happening inside, like a tear. Have you heard of anything like this?
